2021 Opportunity Share : the Fantasy Fellowship

Opportunity Share is the total amount of rushing attempts and targets a player gets, divided by the total number of his team’s plays.

This gives us a percentage of how many times that team tried to get that player the ball. In the colored charts below, this stat is represented by TOUCHES. Opportunity share is most directly correlated to the Running Back position, but there does seem to be some consistency with the WR and TE positions as well. We simply want to draft players who will get the most opportunities.

Action: Use projected Opportunity Share for drafting RBs. Very strong for WRs/TEs too.
